p.s, in case you are curious
 
Perl 5.8.7 under cygwin
 
It seems Socket comes with Perl. I don't care to upgrade from 5.8.7 to 5.8.8
right now:

 
cpan> test Socket
Running test for module Socket
Running make for N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8.tar.gz
 
The most recent version "1.78" of the module "Socket"
comes with the current version of perl (5.8.8).
I'll build that only if you ask for something like
    force install Socket
or
    install N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8.tar.gz
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test

re: FTPServer.pm (Latest on cpan.)
 
setnetent doesn't work. Maybe you could stick it in an eval?
 
Line 4672, FTPServer.pm:
 
Changned:
    setnetent 1;
 
to:
 
    eval {setnetent 1}; #function does not exist in cygwin
 
Now:
 
Failed 1/43 test scripts, 97.67% okay. 5/573 subtests failed, 99.13% okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 14
 
That's better than before; everything was failing.
 
(I don't have BSD::Resource installed. I don't think it installs under
Cygwin.)
 
I did a forced install, and Anonymous FTP works.
